  We herein describe the first known case of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) associated with the administration of Makyo-kanseki-to, a Chinese herbal drug. A 64-year-old man with bronchial asthma presented with persistent cough. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Decreased Breath Sounds

  She again began to feel short of breath on HD #24 with symptoms of lightheadedness and weakness. Exam was notable for decreased breath sounds to bilateral bases and CXR performed at the time revealed bilateral patchy disease. [uscmedicine.blog]

• Diastolic Murmur

  Other manifestations depend on the underlying disorder (eg, diastolic murmur in patients with mitral stenosis). [merckmanuals.com]

• Retinal Damage

  An uncommon side effect of hydroxychloroquine is retinal damage. Serious side effects of rituximab include immunosuppression, infusion reactions, bowel perforation, and future malignancies. [clinicaladvisor.com]

• Forgetful

  Don’t forget: There are many, many causes of DAH, but think of the main etiologies of DAH in 5 broad categories: vasculitidies (ex: MPA, GPA, EGPA) other autoimmune disorders, esp pulmonary-renal syndromes (ex: Goodpasture’s) medications (ex: PTU, anticoagulants [uscmedicine.blog]

• Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure

  The NPPE setting was postoperative (n = 12/18, 67%) or following generalized tonic-clonic seizures (n = 6/18, 33%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pulmonary infections are rarely reported in association with DAH, but they should be considered in the diagnostic workup because of the obvious therapeutic implications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Infectious workup, which included bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and respiratory viral studies, was completely negative in all 3 patients. [bloodjournal.org]

Patients with midface fractures as they try to preserve the barrier is relatively high failure rate.6 the lma-ps showed that 87% of fetuses will present in the workup of most patients will complain of diplopia, ophthalmology consultation is warranted [miketnelson.com]

Our report highlights the pathophysiologic importance of B-cell-mediated immunosuppression in SLE-associated DAH and suggests that rituximab may represent a viable alternative to cyclophosphamide in the treatment of this disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The specific pathophysiology and manifestations vary depending on cause. [merckmanuals.com]
